Timatic seems to indicate that they would need a transit visa:
21JUL11 / 1331 UTC
National USA (US) /Embarkation Ukraine (UA)
Transit Russian Fed. (RU) /Destination USA (US)
ALSO CHECK DESTINATION INFORMATION BELOW
[Visa Information - Transit] Russian Fed. (RU)
[Information For Normal Passports]
TWOV (Transit Without Visa):
Visa required, except for Holders of onward tickets for a max.
transit [[TIRULES/R32]] time of 24 hours.
- Not applicable if next country en-route is Belarus.
- If continuing to Belarus or
if the airport of arrival is
different from the airport of departure within the same
Russian city (e.g. arriving at Sheremetyevo-Terminals B/C
and departing from Sheremetyevo- Terminals D/E/F in Moscow)
then a transit visa is required.
Not sure if this is the final truth but I guess this is what the check in agent would see.
